Cycling traffic along St Kilda Rd has increased expodentially since the introduction of bicycle lanes.

According to Bicycle Victoria, in 1992 the bicycle trips into the CBD were under 50 with this figure shooting up to over 400 when cycling lanes were introduced to over 900 in 2006.
The final figure was according to a survey conducted by The Inner Melbourne Action Plan (the councils of Melbourne, Port Phillip, Stonnington and Yarra in association with VicUrban and the State Government) that monitored city bound traffic along St Kilda Road between 7.00-9.00am.
This represented an increase of 16% over the previous year.

The great thing is the small amount of room requirred for the bicycle lane which doesn’t impact on car traffic volume levels.
